Green Things

I'm hoping this year to be able to grow a little indoor herb garden.
I bought these little starter pots at Target for that reason, and let me tell you... SO fun to watch the little insta-dirt tablet quadruple in size. :)

Aren't they the cutest little pots?

So hopefully I'll have a green thumb this year.
And  I'm really glad it warmed up, I'm loving the rain instead of snow. Hopefully everything will be green for a while now.

Sun

Finally! A little sunshine!!!

:( Now I feel the need to clean my windows.

Ah well. I'll just open them instead. If we could just continue on like this for a few more months and really enjoy spring ... Let's not get ahead of ourselves and jump into summer. Okay Utah?

125

I turn 25 this year. Gasp. Shock. Awe. I'm getting older just like everyone else.
I just realized I follow 125 blogs.
This is my 126th blog post.

I clearly need to follow another blog! Or not care. Hmmmm.
Not caring wins again!
Also, I'm really glad not everyone posts everyday. It's a bit much to sort through, though I manage it easily enough. After all there's always enough time on the interwebs.
Though I have been neglecting it recently in favor of real work, real play, and real relaxation.
Funny how that works.

Spotty

So I've become far more erratic in posting, as you probably haven't noticed.
Yesterday we went skiing again. Yup. AGAIN.
And I didn't die. Again!!!
I'm pretty much a gold medal winner by now. Or at least a gold star. :)

It's spring.
But due to the fact that it's been snowing, yesterday and today, I'm really not feeling springy.
Yeah, Utah really hasn't caught that little fact.
But I've officially decided that I want to rent a tiny little house in our neighborhood with a yard I can do little gardeny things in. Now if only someone would put their house up for rent! That would be amazing... So amazing. Maybe soon. We'll see.
I hope you all have wonderful weekends. Sleep plenty and feel awake when you're up!

I'm Glad!

This phrase I use frequently.
Sometimes I use it sarcastically and sometimes I use it to mean I'm happy.
Rarely do I use it correctly.
What is it to be glad? How do we tell the difference in our state of being that determines what emotion we're feeling? I'm really not sure.
Em is moving out of the state. I may have to change my blog name as I will no longer be able to go on adventures with her. :( I'm not glad for me, but I am glad for her. Being closer to family can be such a good thing.
My family is slowly, person by person, moving closer to me. I am glad for them AND me. I'm a little sorry for them.
There are lots of things in my life to be glad about. So why aren't I glad more often? Because I let the little things get in the way. I'm working on that though. And I'm GLAD.

Isn't glad such a weird word?

Weird things

Strange things that happened over the weekend.
I saw David Archuleta at the Mall. Not performing or anything. Just walking around....
I saw three movies in three days. The Adjustment Bureau, Rango, and Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre was by FAR my favorite. Though Em doesn't like it. :(

I found out that my sister and brother in law are moving here - ish. Much much closer than before at least.
My other sister got a full time job. Yay!!!
I realized yesterday that I wanted a green salad. VERY strange.So much so that I ate two of them.
Also: Oranges.

Okay, so not all of those are weird. And not all of them happened on the weekend. But they are all things that happened since I last blogged.

The Adjustment Bureau

I saw this yesterday... ALL BY MYSELF. I find I'm by myself a lot, but it's increasingly rare that I take the time to DO something alone. If I'm doing something I usually bring along Peter, or Em (Yay Em!) or my sister... or another friend, etc. For example: Last weekend it wasn't enough to go to Logan. We (Peter and I) rented a car and brought along Emma to go visit friends. We don't leave the city very often so I felt the need to make it into an "event". And it was fun. Amazingly so.
But yesterday i was left to my own devices. So I picked a movie and went.
And this particular movie is all about decisions. Commitments. Choosing your own destiny. Making it so. hehe...
I liked the treatment of the plot until the last 5 minutes. It's like the screenwriters forget that we don't always need the moral subtext hammered into us. It would have been a much better movie if it had just ended a minute or two earlier.
Oh... And Emily Blunt and Matt Damon are rather easy on the eyes. That helps.
